PRAISE from CLIENTS

We came to Jeff looking for an agent who had expertise with the local Longmont market. He did not disappoint. We had already purchased a house in a different market and were needing to procure a quick sale of our current home. After a thorough phone consultation to determine our needs and desires, he went to work analyzing the neighboring market to identify homes similar to ours in order to determine a fair listing price that would draw the most likely pool of potential buyers. This would prove crucial to the success of our listing. He met with us to advise us on what he felt was the optimum listing price, and then our attention turned to making our home ready for the market. To be honest, he told us some things we didn't want to hear and gave us some tough homework assignments, all with the end goal in mind of selling our home quickly for a fair market price. He took the additional step to bring in a professional stager at his expense to give us some pointers on how to make our home show ready. We got to work clearing out and cleaning up, and our hard work based on Jeff's expert suggestions paid off. Our house went on the market on a Wednesday, and we had a contract in hand on Saturday with an above-listing price. Jeff was instrumental in negotiating a good price for our home. He kept us apprised during the inspection and closing process and was quick to answer all of our questions along the way.

We are very glad we decided to work with Jeff. We got the results we needed. A quick sale for above-list price without any complications. We would highly recommend him for any real estate needs you might have.

Buying a house with Jeff was an excellent experience. He was suggested by a friend and we would highly recommend him to anyone who would ask! He took the time to really get to know what my wife and I were looking for and spent the time needed to help us find it. He was a full time professional, part time therapist, and excellent tour guide to buying a home. He made sure to walk us through the important decisions and was excellent with offering opinions and suggestions as needed. Everything just seemed to go smoothly along the way; our viewings were scheduled with perfect timing so we were not rushed but everything was efficient; the offer and negotiation was basically painless; the actual march towards buying a house went well and Jeff was able to suggest some exceptionally competent inspectors. Our experience was very smooth and we attribute that largely to Jeff.

I don't ever leave reviews unless they are warranted. There are a lot of average people in the world then there are the shining stars. Jeff and his team are shining stars! I have had many Realtors over the years and never understood the importance of their role in both buying and selling a home until I used Jeff. Jeff will be the only realtor I will ever use again. We had a very complicated contract to negotiate and he got it done! He coached us and had us prepared for every step along the way. His knowledge of the market and the real-estate contract law was incredible. He had the other realtors asking for advise on how to write there end of the contracts! He was able to get us everything we needed in-order to have a smooth closing and more! His collaborative negation style makes it easy for others to want to work with him. He went above and beyond my expectations and I believe the expectations of his industry. I couldn't be happier. I am contractor and many people ask me for recommendations on people to use for different projects they have going on. Jeff is now one of those where I won't hesitate to give them his name. Yes, I have a Realtor...

Jeff did an outstanding job in the selling of our home. He coached us in preparing our house for the sale making by pointing out items that needed to be updated or repaired. He also had fantastic ideas for staging the house. He provided us with information regarding the real estate market and looking out for our best interest. His negotiation skills were beyond our expectations thus resulting in a smooth closing.

Jeff was and is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He had excellent advice on the things we should do to "pretty up" our home for sale. He was quick to respond to emails with answers and additional helpful information. He was always available to communicate via phone for some of the more difficult discussion items that we encountered. We really felt like he cared for our situation as people, not just as clients. Jeff has my highest confidence and gratitude. I will personally work with him in the future and will highly recommend his services to others.

My fiancé and I worked with Jeff Bechtold and his wife, Eileen Bechtold on the sale of my fiance’s house and the purchase of our new home together. Jeff came as a recommendation from my fiance’s brother who had worked with Jeff years prior on the purchase of his first home. From the time we met with Jeff in early February until end of April, we had sold and purchased a new home through him.

I would highly recommend Jeff to any family/friends in the CO area who is looking to sell/purchase a home for these reasons below:

Sale of a home:

- Jeff coached my fiancé on how to stage his home. I personally liked how upfront he was on what items/furniture should go/should stay. For that reason, his home looked spacious and potential buyers could more clearly envision themselves/furnityure in the house.
- From the time we met with him, we had only about 3-4 weeks to get our house in ready to sale state. Jeff coached us on when was the best time to go on market, taking account into weather as well. I am a particular person and I really liked that he also is a particular person.
- We went under contract after 4 days being on the market, and received over 10 offers within that time period.
- He did a ton of research on the price point at which the home should be listed for based on market research/recent sales of comparable homes.

Purchase of a home:

- Before we started to look at houses, Jeff sat us down and went through a sample contract in detail, and explained to us what would make a strong offer. There is no lollygagging in this market- Jeff wanted us to be ready to submit an offer once we saw a house we liked.
- He even harped on scams for a while- how to obtain wiring instructions for down payment. I’m so glad he did as we had gotten contacted by scammers twice and we were able to spot them easily with Jeff’s advisement.
- We went to around 15 showings, and put in 2 offers. Both of our offers were very strong and came out in the forefront of the race with Jeff’s help.
- He establishes excellent rapport with the Listing Agents to see if there are any hot spots the sellers have so that our offer is strong
- Jeff conducts market research to make sure that we aren’t overpaying for a house and to ensure our appraisal comes back at the right amount. Jeff is a calculated risk taker. He wouldn’t let us willy nilly overpay for a house that he can’t back up with recent comps. Any agent out there could technically do that to sell a house. Not Jeff- he advised us on a price point he wouldn’t go over for both offers. For one of the offers, he actually came back and talked us down 10k when he couldn’t find comparable sales that would make him confident in our initial offer.

Given how crazy the housing market is today, it is extremely important to find an agent who is able to guide you on how to make an offer stand out without putting yourself much at risk. We loved how thorough Jeff is with everything he does. Every question that is asked, is given a more than thorough answer. I feel like anyone can obtain a real estate license and a lot of agents out there are just after a commission. I would say Jeff doesn’t do this as a job, real estate is his hobby/passion. Jeff is the cream of the crop of all real estate agents out there. We will be going back to Jeff for our future investment properties.

We could not have asked for someone better than Jeff to help us buy our first home. My brother and I approached Jeff with the idea of purchasing an investment home that we would also live in for a few years while working in Denver and were very new to the process of home buying. Jeff provided us with above-and-beyond conversations on what would be good strategies. His intimate knowledge of the Denver market as well as experience in investment home purchasing was exactly the expertise we needed to give us confidence to move forward. Once we decided to start shopping, Jeff helped us connect with an excellent lender with whom he seamlessly communicated with to make sure everything was in place when we were ready to make an offer. We began shopping during the "covid housing boom," so Jeff had to help manage our expectations about what we should/shouldn't pay for a house and did a great job of protecting us from making any irrational decisions "just to get into a house." He must have taken us to dozens of home showings over the course of several months as we patiently waited for the perfect opportunity. Ultimately, the home we purchased was sold to us because Jeff made an excellent offer in a very strategically timely fashion. He negotiated excellent terms for us when it came time to do inspections and some minor/medium repairs to make the house move-in ready. Ultimately, the process of getting us to closing day was smooth and Jeff made the mountains of paperwork feel like a breeze. Since my brother and I both work full-time jobs, there were many times that Jeff visited the house to meet with inspectors/contractors, etc, on our behalf.

I cannot imagine having made it to the finish line without Jeff's help. We would ABSOLUTELY recommend Jeff to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He went above and beyond and had our back throughout the process!

Jeff absolutely goes above and beyond for his clients, with excellent communication and a deep knowledge of the market Jeff sets everyone up for success. Jeff has helped us purchase and sell and he was terrific throughout both processes. He is always ten steps ahead and has plans for every hurdle that may arise.

Jeff and Eileen Bechtold are the best real estate team I’ve ever met, let alone do business with. They were both the hardest working, very intelligent, and nicest people we could possibly have had for real estate agents. I feel like they should be paid more for their efforts. I will be highly recommending them to anyone interested real estate.

We couldn't be happier with our purchasing experience with Jeff! We were first time buyers and he took the time and effort to explain every detail of the home buying process to us. He made us extremely comfortable with our decisions, he would always advise when he thought we were leaning towards making a bad decision. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to writing offers and managing closing dates.

In the end we purchased the house of our dreams under appraisal value in this absolutely crazy market! Thank you Jeff! 10/10 would use him again.

My wife, Jacqueline, and I were recommended Jeff Bechtold by many close friends. He quickly responded to our initial inquiry, immediately provided us a physical packet with his real estate information, and worked with our timeline. He kept us informed throughout the entire process and thoroughly educated us regarding the home-buying process. We were impressed with his solid knowledge of real estate, historical trends, and familiarity of specific neighborhoods. As first-time home buyers, we especially appreciated his directness and clarity. He created an online search portal specific to the location and price range that we requested.

He quickly scheduled our requested house viewings and offered “food for thought” during our viewings which caused us to reflect and discuss things we wouldn’t have otherwise considered. When we decided on our house, he put rapidly put together a strong offer, and despite the current seller’s market conditions, managed to negotiate in our favor. Prior to and on the day of closing, Jeff carefully walked us through the applicable paperwork at the closing table and ensured its accuracy.

We love our house and have no plans to move, but if we do, we will absolutely use Jeff again. He made the entire process transparent, thoroughly kept us informed, and was consistently one-step ahead of the process.

We are SO glad that we chose Jeff to help us find our first home! From the very start, it has been very clear that his passion is to help his clients and educate them to make the best informed choice. He is very organized, thorough, and just really knows his stuff! (Jeff is particularly good at estimating, based on his personal experiences, costs for things like repairs/upgrades). Jeff will always have your back and advocate for you. He isn't pushy; he shares his thoughts and insights very honestly.
We closed on our new home about a month ago. Since then, Jeff has continued to check in on how we are doing and has shared multiple helpful resources. Our experience working with Jeff has been outstanding! We highly recommend him and would rate him more than 5 stars if we could!
Jeff is an excellent realtor and a wonderful person!

My mother passed away and I was left with the house. I had recently retired and could not afford to stay in the house. I received a letter from Jeff Bechtold in the mail so I contacted him. He responded immediately and the relationship was excellent. He went above and beyond as a real estate agent, compared to other agents I have dealt with. He provided documentation on different price points and the costs associated with each so that I knew exactly what to expect when the house sold. He is extremely honest and will not sugar coat anything; the truth always the best way to go. He sent out "coming soon" postcards so that homebuyers would know the house was for sale. The pictures they took were excellent and showed off the home in a very nice manner. He kept me informed of everything immediately and had the paperwork readily available. He was also available any time I needed to speak with him. Once the home was listed, there were several offers in just one day! It took about a week to sell the home with a quick closing. Jeff listened to my needs, offered suggestions and documentation to support what he said and the whole home selling process could not have been easier. I was worried the house might not sell but he reassured me at every turn that it would and we could get more than I initially wanted. He was right! If anyone out there needs a real estate agent, Jeff Bechtold is the man for you!

As a first time home-buyer I couldn't imagine a better buying experience. From the moment we started our search Jeff made sure we were well prepared for all the details that pop-up in the home buying process.

There were three things I really appreciate about working with Jeff.

1. When we went to visit homes Jeff did an exceptional job of helping to guide us through processing how much we wanted a home without ever telling us what we should or should not do.
2. Due to our savings and credit we were forced into a smaller down payment & FHA loan which put us at an immediate disadvantage in a competitive market. Jeff did an excellent job of crafting creative offers that made us much more competitive. When it was all said and done we only ended up having to place two offers to get our home! I believe Jeff’s creativity and hard work deserves a lot of credit in making that happen.
3. Jeff made the closing process feel so simple. He was always prepared and had everything so well outlined; it was so smooth it literally made me nervous at times. We were always several days ahead of schedule and when we did have some negotiating we needed to do Jeff always knew how to approach the situation.

If we ever purchase again we will absolutely be working with Jeff.

Jeff made everything so easy! From the beginning until the end, his knowledge and experience really made me feel confident in everything from his suggestions, and prepping for sale of the house, to making this very difficult time for me, just a bit easier.
Thanks again Jeff, best experience ever!!

I had very specific goals in selling a property belonging to my mother. Jeff Bechtold was the only one who listened to my expectations and needs concerning the sale and said "lets get to work!".

Other agents had their own expectations of what I would need to do so they could help me with the sale.

Jeff had the property under contract within 3 days of listing it, he managed all the details of the sale with a great deal of finesse and never lost sight of what my goals and needs were. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeff Bechtold as either a buyer or sellers agent!

We rented from Jeff for 5 years before having him as a realtor. He is experienced in every way when coming to property from owning, renting, fixing, and buying. He also connected us to a banker who succeeded with a fantastic mortgage offer. We were lucky to have him on our side, helping us to achieve a difficult task in the fast moving market of Denver. We recommend him to our family and friends.
Thanks again Jeff and team.
Happy Holidays,
Derek and Marissa

My husband and I worked with Jeff to purchase our first home. Buying a home is a huge decision and we wanted to work with someone we could trust. From the first meeting with him, we were impressed with his honesty and detail and we quickly felt that he had our best interest in mind.

After choosing to work with him, we were continually impressed by his quick responses to our inquiries and being so willing to walk us through the process. He took the necessary time to answer all of our questions and explain things. He was always on top of the ball and one step ahead.

Overall, purchasing our home with Jeff as our real estate agent was a smooth and stress free process. We will definitely work with him again and would recommended him to anyone we know.

Great experience, really amazing, sold the property the first day. Couldn’t ask anything more than that. He did all the research thoroughly. Always, want to know, if we have questions, which is really good. We are really satisfied, very detail oriented. We would recommend him in heartbeat to anybody in the Planet Earth. We wish
Him more luck in future in selling houses, because we are very satisfied with his service

We have used Jeff as our realtor for several purchases. This is the first time we have used him to sell a property - he knew exactly what needed to be done and helped to guide us every step of the way. His knowledge of the real estate market helped us to get the maximum return on our profit. His competency in researching neighborhood comps enabled us to price our house at the perfect number - and our house was under contract after only a few days. Jeff is the absolute best!

Jeff was recommended to us by our mortgage broker and boy did he live up to the recommendation. He was incredibly knowledgeable and trustworthy. He explained everything to us in great detail as we were first time home buyers. He really cares about his clients and goes above and beyond for his clients. He is a great negotiator and closing was a smooth process thanks to his expertise. I would highly recommend him.

Jeff Bechtold was an absolute joy to work with. Him and I worked together for nearly a year, and he made the home buying process smooth and easy for me. Jeff is patient, professional, and really knows his stuff. Throughout our time working together it became increasingly clear that Jeff had my best interest in mind. He wouldn't pick a house because he, personally, thought it was good, but rather he would suggest a house because he thought it was good for me. It's very comforting knowing that there are realtors out there like Jeff that aren't in it for the money and genuinely care that I find the right house. He spent time learning about me and what I wanted so he could work effectively even when I was busy with other things. Jeff would go out of his way to make sure I had the upper hand on any house that I viewed, even if I didn't want to make an offer on it. He would even find houses before they were put on the market through networking. Then, even after looking at more than a dozen houses, he didn't lose the passion to find me a house that he started with. I also very much respect him because of his honesty. He won't just tell me what I want to hear because it will make me feel good. Jeff will tell me the facts and give me his humble opinion no mater what the situation is. I highly recommend Jeff, and if you're reading this, it would be a dumb decision not to pick Jeff as your realtor.

I have never had such a great experience in selling a property as I did recently, in choosing Jeff Bechtold as my real estate agent.

He went above and beyond my expectations & I have never worked with a more competent and knowledgeable agent.

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jeff to anyone who is looking to buy/sell.

Jeff Bechtold is a wonderful real estate agent. He is very knowledgeable and pleasant. He answered our questions promptly which wasn’t always easy as we were out of state. Even after our home purchase closed, Jeff was helpful by providing names of tradesmen from whom we could get bids for our remodeling.

Wouldn’t use anyone else!

Jeff was great to work with. He was detail oriented and on top of his game. He would give unbiased opinions and use his knowledge and experience to answer questions. He really helped us get to our "ah ha" moment and when we did he seemed to be just as excited as us. He was thorough in dealing with all items pertaining to closing. Jeff is very trustworthy and honest. I would gladly recommend Jeff as a realtor. He will help you find your home!

Jeff was so awesome to work with. He was very knowledgeable of the local market. He helped us find the perfect home for our family in a crazy competitive market without having pay more than asking price. His negotiating skills are great. Planning on reccomending him to everyone we know!

As an investor, I have now bought 4 properties with Jeff. His knowledge is invaluable concerning the overall market, his ability to help estimate repair/update costs, provide contractor referrals and complete competitive market analyses. He is very detail oriented with respect to contracts, negotiations and numerical analysis.
Whether you plan to purchase or sell real estate, Jeff should be a part of your team!

Jeff walked us through all the houses for sale with a similar value and together we did a realistic look at the different aspects of each home and how our home best fit into the price range of those houses that were moving. It was amazing how he was able to analyze real value and back up his claims as we looked at houses that had sold quickly. We made a few changes including some new paint and staging furniture. After one weekend we had three good offers. Jeff really worked hard for us and got our home sold quickly and for a good price. We appreciated how much time he spent studying the market and his great negotiating skills as we got a price above asking price.

Jeff was very informative and helpful in setting the house we were selling in 2016 up for sale. Having completed the work he suggested that would help with the sell of the house, it took only 3 or 4 days to sell after it went on the market. We would highly recommend Jeff to anyone who is looking for a realtor who knows the business. Thank you Jeff!!

Jeff was great to work with when I sold my house. He stuck by me and worked with me for months prior to even putting my house on the market. Jeff provided reliable, knowledgeable,and prudent guidance before, during, and after the sale of my home. I'm so thankful to have had him representing me. I truly believed he had my best interests at heart and he proved it. I would work with him again and would recommend him to my family and friends.

I had a very good impression of Jeff. He is very knowledgeable of the real estate market and gave a lot of good tips. Jeff is easy to communicate and I learned a lot from him. He is also a tough negotiator. Most important, I could trust him.

My husband and I used Jeff to help us locate and purchase our first investment property, We were blown away by his knowledge of real estate on the Front Range. At every moment in the process we felt like we were in very good hands. We also felt like Jeff went above and beyond what was expected of him. He had a lot of knowledge about what kinds of investment properties are successful and why - this helped us to find the perfect home. We highly recommend Jeff without any reservation. We plan to use him for any future real estate investments in the future. Jeff is simply the best!

Jeff did an amazing job as our realtor! His knowledge of the real estate world and on-point advice to us was crucial in our decision for which house we purchased. He is honest, hard-working, and we highly recommend him!

Jeff's most important qualities: he is KNOWLEDGEABLE and HONEST. He helped us find a great home for our budget and our needs, never hassling us into more house or different houses than we wanted or could afford. He was very available for showings. He explained things very well every step of the way. He was definitely for us in this process and we are very thankful. It is hard for me to think of an experience better than what we had.

I have both sold a home and bought a home with Jeff. His knowledge of the real estate business is very impressive. The sale of my first home was pretty straight forward and painless, and I believe that Jeff got me a great price. The purchase of my next home was more complicated and there were multiple offers over what i was able to pay. Jeff was able to broker a deal that made my offer the best one out there and got me into a wonderful home.

He is through and accurate in his dealings. His commissions are very fair for the quality work he does. He knows the market and the investment side of the biz very well. And almost more importantly he helped me to keep calm during a very stressful process.

I have and will continue to recommend Jeff to all my friends and family for their real estate needs.

Jeff is a great retailer he work very closely with my family to know exactly what we need to purchase my home. Jeff would send me potential homes every day till we found the right house and if there was one that I liked he worked his hardest to make sure I see that house the same day working both on my busy schedule and making sure I had plenty of time to look at any potential home with no rush

Words cannot express how grateful we are for the time, effort, and energy that Jeff put into finding us a wonderful home. Jeff goes above and beyond in every capacity to advocate for his clients, and truly understands the housing market on an expert level. Jeff was able find a remodeled house from an investor whose work we really liked, and we were able to go under contract before the house was even officially listed. Additionally, we were able to bring the majority of our objections to the desired resolution because of Jeff's remarkable negotiating skills. Jeff absolutely works for his clients, and provides insight into all conplexities of the market. We absolutely recommend Jeff to anyone looking for their new home.

Jeff made the buying process easy. He listened to my hopes and requirements for my search parameters, gave helpful suggestions, and guided me through the process of selecting the best home for me. His negotiation skills are by far his best asset, and because of him I got an amazing deal. Go with Jeff Bechtold for the very best process of buying or selling your home.
